Methyl Red test shows which bacteria are creating stable acids through mixed acid fermentation of glucose. This helps to identify enteric bacteria by examining how they metabolise glucose. Every enteric bacteria first produces pyruvic acid from metabolism of glucose. A methyl red positive enteric bacteria‚ uses the mixed acid pathway when breaking down pyruvic acid to different acids‚ like lactic‚ acetic‚ and formic acids. The Voges-Proskauer test determines if there is acetoin found in a bacterial

WHAT DOES IT DO Through the action of photo-stimulation of light reactive biological receptors (chromophores) in the body‚ Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) has demonstrated the ability to significantly accelerate and enhance the body’s natural defense and repair components in the presence of injury‚ inflammation and certain disease processes. By modifying the effects and limiting the duration of inflammation as well as enhancing specific repair and healing processes‚ LLLT is consistent in providing

Hypothyroidism Millions of people‚ most of them women‚ suffer from thyroid disease. When your body produces too little thyroid hormone‚ the hormone responsible for metabolism‚ heart rate‚ and mood‚ you are said to have hypothyroidism‚ or an underactive thyroid. If your body makes too much of the hormone‚ you’re said to have hyperthyroidism‚ or an overactive thyroid. Thyroid hormone is responsible for everything from your basal metabolic rate—the rate at which your body uses oxygen and energy to

person were having a low metabolism‚ and are facing severe health issues due to it‚ such as obesity‚ heart disease and reproductive issues. This does not mean that everyone with low metabolism should be prescribed with this drug‚ because there could be an extreme imbalance in insulin or fat levels in the body. For example‚ if a person who is just above the normal weight and has not incurred any major injuries or procedures regarding their health as a result of low metabolism‚ the most effective method

studied what makes organism alive for many years and have come to the conclusion the there are nine characteristics of life. Each characteristic has a property which applies to how and organism is alive. Life characteristics are as follows: order‚ metabolism‚ motility‚ responsiveness‚ reproduction‚ development‚ heredity‚ evolution‚ and adaptation. All of the characteristics of life together are what makes an organism alive. Order is defined as “a precise arrangement of structural units and activities;

The purpose of an enzyme is to speed up the rate of a chemical reaction. Without enzymes‚ living organisms would be unable to function properly‚ since the releasing and storing of energy depend on the enzyme’s function (2). Through the process of catabolism‚ complex molecules within organic compounds are broken into simpler molecules. As a result of catabolic reactions‚ energy used to produce chemical reactions is released. In contrast‚ anabolic reactions store energy by the formation of complex molecules

Investigators have hypothesized that television viewing causes obesity by one or more mechanisms: 1 Displacement of physical activity‚ 2 increased calorie consumption while watching television or caused by the effects of advertising‚ and 3 reduced resting metabolism” (Pediatric Clinic of NA). This should sound the alarm of concern because if the child is indoors‚ he is not burning off those calories. There have been attempts by television supporters to create activities while using the television. Please
